I say reluctantly not because I know enough about these women to have opinions on them (except their commercial is not something that would make me watch/listen to a podcast) but because I try not to know too much about podcasts. This interview is a banger though.

Months before catastrophic floods swept through an Alaska Native village on Sunday, the Trump administration canceled a $20 million grant meant to protect the community from extreme flooding. At the time, the EPA administrator said he was eliminating "wasteful DEI and Environmental Justice grants."

This is otherwise not a thing a president would or should control. FIFA, soccer federations, national organizations, cities, and states are mostly closely aligned for hosting the games. But trump thinks he owns America now and wants to control every decision. And everyone just…lets him.

The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency.

This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

So far these mandates have not made it down to the regular Joes outside the Pentagon. Importantly, I think this would violate Hegseth’s own order against frivolous, mandatory trainings.

NEW: Pentagon officials are forcing staff to watch Pete Hegseth's "Warrior" speech he forced generals to listen to.

Officials are even "testing" staff to see if they watched — and are threatening consequences if they lie about watching it or if they mock it, sources tell @swin24.bsky.social and I.

adviser amid push to control
student newspaper's content

The director of student media at Indiana University was fired amidst a dispute between university leadership and editors at the Indiana Daily Student over what content gets printed in the student newspaper.

As director of student media, Jim Rodenbush did not directly oversee or have any say over the content published in the IDS, per a charter between the IDS and the university. But he told IndyStar his firing follows a series of meetings with IU Media School leadership in which it grew increasingly apparent they were expecting him to officially prohibit students from publishing news.
